    It's not mandatory, just I don't know the requirements of any systems that
    aren't using udev. The switch exists in obmc-console so you can implement
    support for systems without udev if that's desired. Maybe adding the switch
    was premature?

As per new design, udev rule is the only one who can start server . So if anyone using 
SoL needs to use this rules so I guess this udev switch is not required as this is a 
mandatory options.
